Uplifting the voices of autistic women during #womenshistorymonth is a great idea! Today’s #wcw is dedicated to autistic women! 🧠💕 That means you should check out this fabulous anthology from @awn_network - I illustrated the cover and you can read my original contribution, “Perfect in an Imperfect World”.

This #MotivationMonday, I challenge you to examine language. Autistic isn’t a bad word. Using it as an insult absolutely is.

🎉EVENT ALERT🎉
You all can hang out with me throughout the day with @autism_communities on Instagram as I take over the page on Thursday, March 21! We’re gonna have so much fun - get your questions ready! 🧠

#tbt to when I was brand new at my big girl job and set up my office. Having a “real adult job” and not being in school was a huge Transition and means I’ve been developing new routines.
Is transition hard for all of you? What keeps your routine in check?

This week’s #wcw goes out to all the powerful women who contributed to Zoom Autism Issue 15. I’ve been working on this as a Guest Editor since October, and it’ll be online within the next 2 weeks or so 😊

At today’s City Commission meeting, the city of Coral Gables issued a Proclamation declaring April as World Autism Awareness Month in Coral Gables and adopted principles of inclusion. I was there alongside my friends from @umnsucard and @crystalacademycoralgables. Thank you Coral Gables for supporting autistic residents and our families. Proud to call Coral Gables the city where I have lived and worked for the past 3.5 years 👍❤️

#MotivationMonday 👊
I never claim to speak for anyone but myself, but I know I speak for a lot of us when I say I have a village of people who support me, love me and helped raise me. I am thankful first and foremost for the mayors and architects: of my village: my parents. •

Who makes up your village? Let me know. And tag your village to let them know how grateful you are to have them! ❤️

“Hey Haley, do you ever decorate with your own artwork?!” Fun fact: the answer is yes! This is “Brooke” - an original acrylic painting - at my parents’ house. I painted 3 other Brooke’s for my apartment and they hang above my couch 🎨
Should I post more art? Do you want to own art? I figure we’re overdue for some art posts given my handle is still @haleymossart 😂

Being bold means being unapologetically and perfectly yourself. There is only one you in this world and the world needs you, exactly as you are 👑
#LetsTellHer it is never too late to gain the confidence to be exactly who she is meant to be.

Today, on #internationalwomensday I got to spend part of my afternoon at @juniorleaguemiami’s Women Who Make a Difference Luncheon. Proud to have been able to spend that time with these incredible women (and lawyers!) from my work family, and of course, we were celebrating the always lovely @mpatricios ✨

Happy #throwbackthursday to when I was 5 and I gave a toast at a wedding. My first time public speaking 😂
Most of my words once I began speaking were echolalia - kind of like a parrot repeating things they’ve heard before. It is not meaningless speech. Think of when you might use quotes from movies to say something better than you could on your own. Echolalia is a form of communication!
Do you quote movies or TV or other people’s words as a way to meaningfully communicate?

Got to celebrate #womenshistorymonth with this fun cast of characters! Thanks @hits973 for having me and you all slay at life! Let’s do this again real soon! 🎤

My #mcm goes out to my dad! I see a lot of stuff about autism moms, but how often is it we talk about dads?! Dads are also rockstars 😎
My dad is AWESOME. He is strong for his family, full of wisdom, and was the first one to say “everybody is a comedian” and helps me keep a sense of humor about everything.
Let’s show him some love today too ❤️
